Authorities said Richard Bernhagen was clocked at 148 mph on July 17 on Tagus Avenue, a county road just outside of Hutchinson, Minn.

Would his citation be a “Darwin award”?

Isn’t that how everyone dries their car after coming out of the autowash?

I was with a buddy one day when we were clocked at 155mph by a Texas DPS officer. He went to jail in cuffs and I walked home. I think his Dad beat his butt raw that night also. I found out that the ticket cost him $300 and that was in 1970.

Back in 2007, my son came home for funeral leave for his grandmother.
He borrowed his Mom’s 2006 Mustang GT to take a short ride.
At the airport he whispered to me that he had it up to 145 and it was still accelerating but he was running out of road so he backed off.
To: TurboZamboni
They should issue him a warning, just for being honest and not pulling some lame “my speedometer is broken” routine.
To: TurboZamboni
Did they chase this guy? That would be dumber than the 145 or the 148 MPH.

In Germany, 148mph is called “driving in the slow lane.”
To: TurboZamboni
Many cars today quit at 100, I thought they all had that in the computer.

Lock him up. At 148mph you travel the length of a football field in about a second and a half. A farmer in his truck gets on a rural two-lane road that from his vantage point is clear and death could easily ensue. Hopefully only the life of the nutcase driver, not the farmer or an oncoming vehicle.

The new Obama Dolt just bursts into flames if you exceed
50 MPH.

I learned that the hard way on the autobahn. Stay out of the left lane unless you are cruising at least 140.

There is nothing more frightening than have to use full throttle to avoid an accident and having “HAL” shut the friggin engine off! That’s why I still have a 1963 with no computer what so ever.
